Best Western Plus The Tudor-Box Hill

6/10 Okay

"Room had a musty stale smell when I entered. Something that suggested strongly of mold or unaired facilities. Food in the restaurant was over priced and low in quantity. $36 for a Thai Green curry with one small bowl of rice and a small serve on a small plate is not worth it. But on a wet cold windy night I had no choice ! Parking was undercover and ok. Upstairs Queen sized bed was comfortable and warm. But that musty smell did begin to creep up the stairs in the early hours of the morning after I turned off the bathroom expeller fan."
